Definitions

  • the invention described herein pertains to compounds and compositions for treating Ape1 mediated diseases.
  • the invention described herein pertains to quinone compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them for treating Ape1 mediated diseases.
  • Apurinic/apyrimidic endonuclease (Ape1), also known as redox effector factor (Ref-1) (hereinafter Ape1/Ref-1 or Ape1) is an enzyme with a dual role. In addition to its DNA base excision repair (BER) activity, Ape1/Ref-1 also functions as a redox effector maintaining transcription factors in an active reduced state.
  • Ref-1 redox effector factor
  • Ape1/Ref-1 has been shown to stimulate the DNA binding activity of several transcription factors such as HIF-1 ⁇ , NF ⁇ , AP-1 and p53, and others known and unknown, which are reportedly related to tumor survival and progression ( Evans et al., Mutat Res 2000, 461, 83 ).
  • Ape1/Ref-1 expression has been shown to be altered in a variety of cancers including breast, cervical, germ cell tumors, adult and pediatric gliomas, osteosarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, non-small cell lung cancer, and multiple myeloma
  • Puglisi et al., Oncol Rep 2002, 9, 11 Thomson et al., Am JPediatr Hematol Oncol 2001, 23, 234 ; Roberston et al., Cancer Res 2001, 61, 2220 ; Puglisi et al., Anticancer Res 2001, 21, 4041 ; Koukourakis et al., Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2001, 50, 27 ; Kakolyris et al., Br J Cancer 1998, 77, 1169 ; Bobola et al., Clin Cancer Res 2001, 7, 3510 ).
  • High Ape1/Ref-1 expression has also been associated with a poor outcome for chemoradiotherapy, poor complete response rate, shorter local relapse-free interval, poorer survival, and high angiogenesis ( Koukourakis et al., Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2001, 50, 27 ; Kakolyris et al., Br J Cancer 1998, 77, 1169 ; Bobola et al., Clin Cancer Res 2001, 7, 3510 ).
  • Angiogenesis is an important component of cancer growth and metastasis.
  • the formation of new blood vessels at the site of a cancerous tumor provides a source of nutrients for accelerated tumor growth and expansion as well as a path for tumor cells to enter the bloodstream and spread to other parts of the body.
  • effective inhibition of angiogenesis is a useful mechanism to slow or prevent the growth and spread of cancer.
  • An increase in Ape1/Ref-1 activity has been associated with angiogenesis.
  • Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important signaling protein involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.
  • Ape1/Ref-1 is a component of the hypoxia-inducible transcriptional complex formed on the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene's hypoxic response element ( Ziel et al., Faseb J 2004, 18, 986 ).
  • VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
  • altered angiogenesis contributes to pathological conditions related to, among others, cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammatory disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic retinopathy, degenerative maculopathy, retrolental fibroplasias, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, acute adult respiratory distress syndrome, asthma, endometriosis, psoriasis, keloids, and systemic sclerosis.
  • Inhibition of angiogenesis is a desirable clinical outcome for the amelioration or prevention of diseases involving altered angiogenesis.
  • quinone compounds that include a secondary amide or acylhydroxylamine side chain are potent inhibitors of the redox function of Ape1, and therefore useful in treating cancers, and other diseases mediated by Ape1.
  • compositions containing one or more of the compounds are also described herein.
  • the compositions include a therapeutically effective amount of the one or more compounds for treating a patient with cancer, or other disease mediated by Ape1.
  • the compositions may include other component and/or ingredients, including, but not limited to, other therapeutically active compounds, and/or one or more carriers, diluents, excipients, and the like.
  • methods for using the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for treating patients with cancer, or other disease mediated by Ape1 are also described herein.
  • the methods include the step of administering one or more of the compounds and/or compositions described herein to a patient with cancer, or other disease mediated by Ape1.
  • the methods include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the one or more compounds and/or compositions described herein for treating patients with cancer, or other disease mediated by Ape1.
  • uses of the compounds and compositions in the manufacture of a medicament for treating patients with cancer, or other disease mediated by Ape1 are also described herein.
  • the medicaments include a therapeutically effective amount of the one or more compounds and/or compositions for treating a patient with cancer, or other disease mediated by Ape1.
  • the compounds described herein may be used alone or in combination with other compounds useful for treating diseases mediated by Ape1, including those compounds that may be therapeutically effective by the same or different modes of action.
  • the compounds described herein may be used in combination with other compounds that are administered to treat other symptoms of diseases mediated by Ape1.
